Hi Bob,
As I said to Averil (somewhere!) I'm beginning to think that the "bachelor" when marrying Esther Christian was an error - written by a parish clerk in Patrick who didn't know Maughold Daniel Looney's background. We are running out of possible Daniels who could have married Ann Cowin - unless, of course, he wasn't bapt in Maughold.

There was the surviving twin who Averil mentioned: Daniel son of William Looney bapt Parish Church Maughold 8 Aug 1747 (no mother given).
Also Daniel Illegit son of William Looney/ Margaret Corkill bapt Parish Church 24 Mar 1734/35. (They married on 15 Jun 1735.)
Too old?

Sue
